@martinettu customarily, one does not feature his or her own build in a thread like this, it's a bit of a faux pas. Nonetheless, it's a beautiful build.

I think this is one of my all-time favorite builds on Weight Weenies (sub 5kg WITH A POWERMETER and pretty much perfect execution), the only thing I think could make it even better would be THM Fibulas (only because I have a serious disdain for those Gravitas SL's):

I like LionelB's Crumpton

Hey thanks but by many's definition here it's not a WW. I like it very much that way though. :D

Would people want me to start backing up these photos on the weightweenies blog? I'm pretty sure if I publish an article it'll be there forever (well as long as this forum exists anyway).

I might also be able to dig up some photos from the archives if you give me the Author's name, and rough date it was published.
I write the weightweenies blog, hope you like it :)

Disclosure: I'm sponsored by Velocite, but I do give my honest opinion about them (I'm endorsed to race their bikes, not say nice things about them)

The Green Flame's Six13 deserves a spot in here:

The Six 13 above and the Firefly on this page were the inspiration for my Prince SL I built last year. Absolutely love these 2 bikes.

This might be my favorite bike ever (would be better with 4.5's or 6.7's).

I've lusted after this for a few years.
